Solid plan. Take before and after pics so you can see the difference. I did the same thing. At 5'6 and a half (yeah I'm short) I started the year at 198. By August, I was down to 150 and 11% body fat. Now I'm 165 and stronger than I have ever been. Anyone can do it, it just requires discipline and dedication.

That's a great plan, but don't do it forever... 2 months or so, then switch it up.

I'm to the point where I go nearly everyday, so I shoot for 4 days between exercising body parts. I did back on Sunday, so I won't do it again until tomorrow because today is my off day.

I break my workouts into:

1) Back Day

2) Chest Day

3) Leg Day (with biceps)

4) Shoulder/Trap Day (with Triceps)

5) Aerobic only or off

I no arm specific work on back or chest day at all so as not to overtrain them. Also, I never do the same workout twice in a row... if I do barbell bench this chest day, I don't do it at all next one or possibly do it as my last exercise.

Right now, I've gotten off of creatine and have gone from doing heavy, low rep sets to lighter higher rep sets with more cardio and abs. I'm going to do that cycle until first of the year then switch again.
